I am having a problem w/ either OpenLDAP and/org pam_ldap. I have the LDAP server running, pam_ldap configured w/ nss_ldap. If I turn the ACL off in the slapd.conf file everything works fine. (albeit- Insecure) However, using the following access lines result in a non-functioning pam_ldap system. access to attrs=userPassword by self write by anonymous auth by dn="cn=manager,dc=VirtualSMF,dc=net" write by * none access to * by self write by dn="cn=manager,dc=VirtualSMF,dc=net" write by * read Once these permissions are installed, nothing is able to see the userPassword attribute. The ldap.log file looks OK to me, but the record returned doesn't show the password. EG: $ ldapsearch -x -b 'uid=sferris,ou=People,dc=example,dc=net' version: 2 # # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # # sferris,People,dc=example,dc=net dn: uid=sferris,ou=People,dc=example,dc=net uid: sferris cn: Shawn M Ferris objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top gidNumber: 500 homeDirectory: /home/sferris gecos: Shawn M Ferris loginShell: /bin/bash uidNumber: 500 # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- /var/log/ldap.log: slapd[21321]: daemon: conn=4 fd=7 connection from IP=192.168.0.1:50484 (IP=0.0.0.0:34049) accepted. slapd[21321]: conn=4 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128 slapd[21321]: conn=4 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text= slapd[21321]: conn=4 op=1 SRCH base="uid=sferris,ou=People,dc=example,dc=net" scope=2 filter="(objectClass=*)" slapd[21321]: conn=4 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 text= slapd[21321]: conn=4 op=2 UNBIND slapd[21321]: conn=-1 fd=7 closed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Can anyone help me..
